Question

Merci de votre email et de me tenir au courant des resultats des tests entrepris.

C’est dommage que l’anticorps ne marche pas, mais confirme les resultats que j’avais obtenus.

La difficulte a detecter la protein endogene est peut etre liee au fait que le facteur soir secrete par les cellules, du coup elle ne serait pas tres enrichie dans des lysats cellulaires… n’ayant pas suffisament de temps pour retester de nouveaux anticorps, j’ai abandone l’otption WB pour le CTGF au final.

Merci

Cordialement

Question

I finally managed to find some time to run a few more tests with the new antibodies against CTGF you sent me a few weeks ago (see power point file attached).

I used human dermal fibroblast cells that were stimulated or not by 10ng/ml TGFb1 for 24h as a positive control (CTGF is well known to be strongly increased by TGFb1 treatment)

I have also used two other protein ladders from different suppliers in parallel of my usual one to compare MW estimation and they gave the same result.



The new lot (GR42950-1) of the reference ab5097 gave exactly the same results than the previous (GR75927): a single strong band around 50-55kDa that is not varying with TGFb1 treatment.



The other reference ab6992 gives a different pattern.

I initially tried 1/5000 dilution as advised in the datasheet but the signal was weak. With longer exposure (and consequently a very strong background) the same band at 55kDa appears, so as two bands around 40 and 45kDa.

The second test with more protein loaded and lower antibody dilution (1/1000) exhibited the same pattern, bands at 55kDa and 45kDa not varying much upon TGFb1 treatment. But interestingly, there was a diffuse band around 40kDa only in the TGFb1 stimulated sample, bjut absent in the control lysate, which I guess is the specific one for CTGF.

However, you can see the WB stills displays high background (5% BSA blocking though), and the non specific band appears as strong, if not stronger, than the specific one. These non specific bands are present in the pig lysate (last line) whereas the 40kDa band is (I thought I had a positive staining in IHC-Fr for CTGF on pig skin frozen sections with ab5097, the epidermis was strongly positive but I also saw a diffuse positive staining in the healing wound bed in the dermis, where I was expecting the signal to be, but now I have doubts that ab5097 may not be specific in IHC-Fr either).

Are there other antibodies working on pig for IHC-Fr I could try to check?



I don’t know what else to change to get a cleaner blot on human lysates with ab6992. Would you have other advices? Could you let me know what were the exact conditions used to validate this ab6992 please? (especially transfer on nitrocellulose or PVDF?)



Thanks

Best regards

Answer

J'espère que vous allez bien.

J'aimerais vous informer que mes collègues du laboratoire ont effectué de nouveaux tests en Western Blot avec l'anti-CTGF référence ab5097.

Ils ont essayé différents lysats tissulaires et cellulaire, y compris celui que vous m'aviez suggéré - NIH 3T3 (Mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line) Whole cell lysate, TGF beta 1 treated. Malgré les différentes optimisations, il n'a pas été possible d'obtenir un bon résultat en Western Blot avec la protéine endogène, mais uniquement avec la protéine recombinante. La fiche technique a d'ailleurs été mise à jour avec cette information.

J'espère que ces informations vous seront utiles. N'hésitez pas à me contacter de nouveau si vous avez des questions ou commentaires au sujet de cet anticorps.

Question

Dear Kate,

I have just submitted my second abreview for the testing offer agreed with you a few months ago, see below.

I was wondering if I had to order the free antibodies before the 20th of august, or if this expiry date referred only to the limit date to send an abreview feedback.

Many thanks

Best regards

Question

As discussed over the phone, here are the reports about the different tests I’ve performed with anti CTGF antibodies ab5097 and ab6992 on pig skin frozen sections (IHC-Fr).

The panel for CTGF 5097 on wounded skin would be the one to add to the abreview, but I’m not sure the staining will be visible as it’s not very bright. It shows some positive staining in the dermis of the wound bed, whereas the dermis of unwounded skin stays negative.

The 2nd page is IHC-Fr on the same sections with ab6992,( but a slightly different protocol, so that’s difficult to compare directly, sorry!). This aniobody wasn’t supposed to work on pig, but I still tried it… there is still a very strong staining in the epidermis (?) but nothing in the wounded dermis where I expected to detect some expression like with ab5097…

Merci beaucoup pour ce complément d'information.

Je vous contacterai de nouveau dès que j'aurai reçu les résultats du labo pour les anti-CTGF.

Je vous souhaite un très bon week-end.

Question

I ran a few more tests with the new antibodies against CTGF you sent me a few weeks ago (see power point file attached). I used human dermal fibroblast cells that were stimulated or not by 10ng/ml TGFb1 for 24h as a positive control (CTGF is well known to be strongly increased by TGFb1 treatment). I have also used two other protein ladders from different suppliers in parallel of my usual one to compare MW estimation and they gave the same result.

The new lot (GR42950-1) of ab5097 gave exactly the same results than the previous (GR75927): a single strong band around 50-55kDa that is not varying with TGFb1 treatment : not specific to CTGF obviously!!!
The other reference ab6992 gives a different pattern.
I initially tried 1/5000 dilution as advised in the datasheet but the signal was weak. With longer exposure (and consequently a very strong background) the same band at 55kDa appears, so as two bands around 40 and 45kDa.
The second test consisted of more protein loaded (25ug instead of 10) and lower antibody dilution (1/1000). It exhibited the same pattern, bands at 55kDa and 45kDa not varying much upon TGFb1 treatment. But interestingly, there was a diffuse band around 40kDa only in the TGFb1 stimulated sample, and absent in the control lysate, which I guessed was the specific one for CTGF.
However, you can see the WB stills displays high background (5% BSA blocking though), and the non specific band appears as strong, if not stronger, than the specific one. These bigger bands are also present in the pig skin lysate (last line) whereas the 40kDa band isn’t, showing instead at band around 34kDa: maybe a species-specific post-translational modification?

The last test I did was comparing the pattern from cell lysates to supernatant (as CTGF is a secreted growth factor!). I concentrated the media either with centricon columns with 30kDa cut-off or acetone precipitation. I got no signal at all on the supernatant samples. The cell lysate showed again an awful background and a multi-band pattern : 40, 50, 60 kDa, but also a weaker band around 36kDa (maybe 38kda, it was a gradient gel so not much separation) that is increased in the TGFb1 treated sample, so it looks like this maybe be the good one, suffering from additional non-specific reaction of the antibody.
The last thing I can try is to use nitrocellulose membrane instead of PVDF, that may help with the background… I’ll try to borrow some and try that next week, but I doubt I will be able to get rid of the un-specific bands…
I have just went through the datasheet of the two other anti-CTGF antibodies available on your website:
ab94939 gave a weak signal on the recombinant protein, and when tested on cell lysate, it shows a multi-band pattern similar to what I’ve got with ab6992. However, it is mentioned that “CTGF contains two glycosylation sites (SwissProt) which may explain the higher migrating band.” Maybe that could that explain these additional bands I detect with ab6994 (but on my sampels, these band still don’t vary upon TGFB treatment…)? (That would probably be useful to indicate this information on the other CTGF antibodies’datasheets.)
ab51704 has apparently only been tested on recombinant protein, but gives a nice strong signal.
I’d like to give them a last try if that’s OK with you, as I absolutely need to analyse this protein. Would that be possible to test them both?

Sorry about the massive reply, but I thought you may be interested in the results I’ve got.

Thanks
Best regards

Answer

Thank you very much for your email and the detailed information about your results.

I forwarded your data to our characterisation team who, since your last email, have started to investigate the problem. It has been decided to retest the products in liver, thymus, spleen and bone marrow lysates as this is where we might expect to find high expression of this protein. The experiments are currently in progress, I will let you know about the outcome as soon as the tests are done.

Thank you for your patience and sorry about the inconvenience caused. I hope I will be able to provide a quick and adequate resolution to this problem.

Do not hesitate to contact me again if you have any questions or comments.
